Self driving cars seem like a thing from the future. Apparently not‚ because they have been made. The question is whether they’re a good idea or not. I don’t think self-driving cars are a good idea. These cars must meet the definition of safe‚ whatever that may mean. Thinking about it‚ I don’t really see how these cars are really making a difference in this world. They don’t really seem to be revolutionary or anything. They will also end up hurting people and their jobs‚ helping to increase the unemployment

Introduction and Experimental Goal: An electric field surrounds all electrically charged particles. With electric fields‚ one can determine the effects of all of the charges in the environment. In this lab entitled “Electric Fields and Potential Mapping”‚ the main goal obtained was to examine and deliberate the effects of an electric field and electric potential. Examples of some effects of electric fields include resultant forces‚ changes in motion‚ changes in current flow‚ etc. By using conductive

Part 1: What is the relationship between the electric potential at a point in space and the distance from an electric charge? 1) Place a positive 1 nano-coulomb charge on the screen. 2) Turn on “Show numbers” 3) Turn on “tape measure”. 4) Use the tape measure to find and record the distance from the charge to the equipotential sensor. 1.88 m 5) Record the voltage as indicated on the equipotential sensor. 4.1v 6) Change the location of the positive charge to

Company Analysis of General Electric Running a company often centers on the idea of considering both positive and negative factors in order to then hand down executive decisions accordingly. To best understand the strengths and weakness of any given company‚ one must understand its base operations and the scope of industry in which the firm exists. In doing so‚ one would have a bigger picture of how the company operates and how success has been fostered in‚ as well as highlight in areas in which

first applications of electricity was the first incandescent light bulb in around 1870. The electric overhaul of society obviously brought many fresh new dangers with it‚ but it eliminated some of the old ones‚ like the naked flames of gas lighting that was commonly used in homes and factories then. The Joule heating effect that can be found in light bulbs is also present in electric heating. Electric heating has been thought of as wasteful in the past because in order to create that heat energy

I. Physical Features Electric eels are not really eels‚ they are actually ostariophysians‚ but have a strong physical resemblance to true eels. . An electric eel is mostly tail. The internal organs are compressed into the anterior (front) 1/5th of the body‚ and the rest of the fish consists of the long‚ electricity-producing tail. The tail contains the electric organs: Sachs’ organ‚ Hunter’s organ‚ and main organ. Extending down the entire tail region is an elongated anal fin. There are no dorsal

pushed away‚ or repelled‚ each other. The evidence showed that electric force made matter either attract or repel other matter. Electric force is caused by electric charge. Electric charge is a property of the bits of matter within atoms. Electric force can cause matter to attract or repel because there are two kinds of charge – positive and negative charge. The effects of electric force can be summarized as the law of electric charge: Pieces of matter with the same kind of charge repel

1 ELECTRIC MOTORS I. Introduction Electric motors are considered to be important mechanical devices. They usually convert the electrical energy coming from the mechanical device into its kinetic energy to make it work (Petingco and Resurreccion‚ 2011). In this exercise‚ the students were tasked to use an example of an electric motor‚ identify its parts‚ and make it work. All electrical motors are equipped with stator and rotor. Stator is known as the stationary part of an electric motor
